Abstract

A method of generating a data block to be transmitted from a protocol layer to a receiving side in a wireless communication system, the protocol layer having a header compression function, comprises generating at least one of a control packet which includes control information and a compressed packet generated by header compression for an upper layer data block, and generating a first lower layer data block which includes type indication information and the control packet, if the control packet is generated, the type indication information indicating a type of control information included in the generated control packet.

Claims

1. A method of transmitting a data block to a receiving device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by a transmitting device, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) control protocol data unit (PDU) header compression feedback information,

wherein the PDCP control PDU comprises type indication information indicating the PDCP control PDU comprises header compression feedback information,

wherein the PDCP control PDU comprises an indicator indicating whether the PDCP control PDU is a control PDU or a data PDU, and

wherein the PDCP control PDU does not have a sequence number and is not associated with a PDCP service data unit (SDU).

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the PDCP control PDU is generated by an entity which performs the header compression function.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the type indication information indicates whether the PDCP control PDU comprises control information.

4. A method of transmitting a data block to a receiving device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, by a transmitting device, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) data protocol data unit (PDU) comprising at least a sequence number used for ciphering,

wherein the PDCP data PDU comprises an indicator indicating whether the PDCP data PDU is a control PDU or a data PDU, and

wherein the PDCP data PDU has the sequence number and is associated with a PDCP service data unit (SDU).

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the PDCP data PDU is generated by an entity which performs the header compression function.

6. A transmitting device for transmitting a data block to a receiving device in a wireless communication system, the transmitting device comprising:

a transmitter; and

a processor configured to control the transmitter to transmit a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) control protocol data unit (PDU) comprising header compression feedback information,

wherein the PDCP control PDU comprises type indication information indicting the PDCP control PDU comprises feedback information, and

wherein the PDCP control PDU comprises an indicator indicating whether the PDCP control PDU is a control PDU or a data PDU,

wherein the PDCP control PDU does not have a sequence number and is not associated with a PDCP service data unit (SDU).

7. The transmitting device of claim 6, wherein the PDCP control PDU is generated by an entity which performs the header compression function.

8. The transmitting device of claim 6, wherein the type indication information indicates whether the PDCP control PDU comprises control information.

9. A transmitting device for transmitting a data block to a receiving device in a wireless communication system, the transmitting device comprising:

a transmitter; and

a processor configured to control the transmitter to transmit a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) data protocol data unit (PDU) comprising at least a sequence number used for ciphering,

wherein the PDCP data PDU comprises an indicator indicating whether the PDCP data PDU is a control PDU or a data PDU, and

wherein the PDCP data PDU has the sequence number and is associated with a PDCP service data unit (SDU).

10. The transmitting device of claim 9, wherein the PDCP data PDU is generated by an entity which performs the header compression function.
